Sepp Holzer’s explains the principles of his Permaculture and shows how it can be implemented in the small garden, and even in the balcony garden.

Holzer is the the youngest of three sons of Martin and Mary Holzer, born in the Krameterhof after his brothers Hans and Martin.
In addition to the family there was his younger foster sister Gloria.

The court [1] is in the Lungau at about 1,300 m above sea level in an isolated position on a steep, southeast facing hillside, 300 meters above the village in Ramingstein Murtal and was then only accessible via a dirt cart path.

Belonged to the farm about 24 hectares that were farmed in the conventional way. Sepp Holzer’s parents had about ten cattle, 20 sheep, a horse, some chickens, pigs and several geese.
The operation was handled entirely by hand, there was neither electricity nor telephone and no motor vehicles or motor-driven machines, so working in the yard next to the peasants, a maid and a servant and as needed more casual and temporary workers, and also the Children were from a young age, depending on the capacity to perform odd jobs.

The parents were conservative and very reluctant to implement innovations, it was not until 1955 that the farm connected to the public electricity grid. The children were raised catholic, every Sunday the family took the long walk along the valley to attend the church services, table prayers were of course both before and after each meal, were added hours of rosary prayers on Saturdays and in cases of death in the neighborhood.

Physician visits were avoided due to the associated high costs and long distances, if possible, minor injuries and illnesses were treated with home remedies.

Even as a child Holzer showed an extraordinary interest in all sorts of biological processes, leading seed and planting experiments, first in the planters of his mother, and later in “Beißwurmboanling” an extremely steep and therefore unused strip of land of his parents’ farm. These experiments, coupled with his accurate observation mediated to him at a young age with valuable insights into ecological relationships.
